Paradise Helicopters - Hawaii's Most Unique Helicopter Experience! Enjoy the Hawaii few people ever witness on our one-of-a-kind air adventures departing out of Kona & Hilo on Hawaii Island, Lanai and Oahu. Whether flying Doors-Off over the volcano to feel the heat of the lava, hovering beside a 2000 foot waterfall, landing for stunning views on an epic ridge top, or photographing the remote beauty of Hawaii’s rare rain forest valleys, black and GREEN sand beaches – our Hawaiian helicopter tours offer a diverse set of adventure options to suit every need! This is one flight you will be sure to remember for a lifetime.

Ryan was our pilot and was great. The tour was unreal, from seeing the lava, to the rain forests, then the valleys. So diverse and beautiful. I can't think of a better way to see the island. Worth every penny.

We enjoyed a 1 hour helicopter flight from Kona (West side of Big Island), over the active Kilauae, down to the lava entering the ocean, and on to Hilo (East side of the Big Island). The view down into the active crater and the view from offshore is something you cannot get any other way, and the pilot made sure...

We decide to do the all day volcano tour starting and ending in Kona. After looking at all the options and prices we decided getting a taste of the island was a great way to start our vacation. While there is a lot of good info in travel books there is nothing like local knowledge. Ryan our pilot who grew...

Very memorable experience and I recommend this tour for anyone who would like to get a great aerial perspective of the lava fields and several waterfalls. The pilot took us over old and recent lava as well as an active caldera where we could look down upon the glowing red lava.
During our ride we were also fortunate enough to...

We went to the Big Island to celebrate our honeymoon and wanted to a helicopter ride around the Big Island. We noticed Paradise Helicopters had the option of flying over the volcano and also...

Aloha form the Big Island of Hawaii! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with us and you were able to see all that this amazing island has to offer. The doors off tour that leaves out of the Hilo airport will need to be your next adventure! Totally different experience.

We had a wonderful full island flight from the Kona airport. Our pilot was awesome. He was very skilled and was eager to circle around to give us the best view of the spectacular sights we wanted to see more of. Our flight covered the rain forest ,waterfall area , the coasts, the lava flows and Kilauea eruption area.

This was definitely an incredible way to get a literal overview of the Big Island. We were a group of 5 including 2 locals, a couple from Reno, NV and myself, a first time visitor to Hawaii from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was a very moody, cloud covered afternoon with plenty of opportunities for scenic shots. Our pilot York was...

The doors-off volcano and waterfall trip was part of the get-away my daughter and I recently took. Being afraid of heights, I was prepared to spend most of my time with eyes closed and a death grip on whatever I could reach. However, I quickly found myself relaxing and thoroughly enjoying the experience. The staff were all super-professional, and our...
